I believe sydney has pm'd steve with the zoom details (or is about to) ...

Thanks all, PM received, I'll be joining tonight!

[Arcadian]

Thanks as always to all presenters, moderators and everyone else who joined us today, another great session with some truly spectacular presentations and demos.

Oh, and ...

(Thanks karateed - great choice of games, though I was jammy with my Amidar score by fluking both the bonus screens! )

[KarateEd]

and kudos to you Dave for doing a superb job organizing such great talks. This is history in the making, you do realize that of course, don't you?

[tricky]

Really sorry that I had to drop off after the DOOMSDAY part II talk, but I really enjoyed the day.

[davidb]

Thanks to the organisers and speakers. I managed to drop in for John Wike's presentation and really enjoyed it.

Thanks Dave for editing my waffle
Thanks 0xCODE for the questions - I do like questions, even if I sometimes answer a different question.

Thanks for the links, tricky. Strangely enough, those links are not working for me (404).
But if I rewrite the URL a little (the first link for instance) then it works --> https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=cHkXg0ZueoY

I've added links above, probably a flash security type thing as they preview and link fine for me in Chrome/FF on Win7.
I usually add them anyway with a comment to watch in at least 720p50 to get 50Hz, but was lazy

[BigEd]

(Thanks for the fix Tricky. It's the same for me: proper youtube URLs are fine, but the smart ones which for some people provide a preview do nothing in my browser. Probably because it's just Chrome on a Macbook, and doesn't have a Flash plugin.)

[tricky]

I don't have flash plugins on any machines in the house!
FF has ad-block and Chrone has ad-block and backspace to go back + google docs.
I don't know anything newer than HTML TABLEs, so wouldn't know where to check next.
Do any of the [ flash ] / youtube previews work on this site?
They used to be http://, but then they stopped working for preview unless they were changed to https:// (I've changed quite a few of mine, but not all).

[BigEd]

Very odd - maybe somehow a difference between OS not between browser. None of the previews have ever worked for me. I have a trick though: it looks like this:

[tricky]

I never even thought of nesting tags on here!
